Within the tailored parameter regime, the amplitude and frequency demonstrate contrasting effects on ergodicity. An increase of amplitude induces a transition from non-ergodic to ergodic behavior, whereas a higher driving frequency leads to a transition from ergodic to non-ergodic dynamics. These transitions are attributed to the enhanced ability of larger amplitudes to overcome potential energy barriers and the improved responsiveness of the system to external variations at lower frequencies. Moreover, pronounced ageing effects are observed at low amplitudes or high frequencies. These findings offer new insights into the intrinsic dynamical mechanisms of vibrational motor systems and provide a theoretical foundation for predicting their long-term operational performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e27080802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]],"date-time":"2025-07-28T10:51:14Z","timestamp":1753699874000},"page":"802","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ergodicity Breaking and Ageing in a Vibrational Motor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9245-7193","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaqin","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Artificial Microstructures in Yunnan Higher Education Institutions, School of Physical Science and Technology, Kunming University, Kunming 650214, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8295-4864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hongda","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Artificial Microstructures in Yunnan Higher Education Institutions, School of Physical Science and Technology, Kunming University, Kunming 650214, China"},{"name":"Department of Physics, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3571-7637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luchun","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5645-4621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Artificial Microstructures in Yunnan Higher Education Institutions, School of Physical Science and Technology, Kunming University, Kunming 650214, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1016\/j.optcom.2018.03.069","article-title":"Quantum correlations as probes of chaos and ergodicity","volume":"420","author":"Madhok","year":"2018","journal-title":"Opt.
